| Care to recommend a preamp? The CAT volume control is just plain wrong. It's way too course (I believe each click on the volume is 3db). It's too bad, as the CAT preamp is a very good sounding preamp (I used to own one). With this preamp, on too many recordings, the volume w... | |
| To Couple or Decouple? Thanks for the suggestion Listener57. I'll check it out. | |

| Using a RS SPL meter To Onhwy61,I used 90 db because this is the average SPL when I listen to music. I don't know if this is the correct way to begin taking measurements, or not. | |

| Counterfeit 'Amused to Death' Vinyl lp? Thanks for your responses. As an update, I contacted the guy I purchased the record from, and asked him for a refund. He asked that I return it to him, my cost, and that he would give me a refund. Of course, that's yet to be done, wish me luck! | |

| Help with my analog rig. Cmalak... I will check with VPI after I try all of the above. Thanks. | |
| Help with my analog rig. Smackeyp... My home is about 10 years old. The Fosgate is great sounding with the stock tubes. Sounds to me that your dealer was trying to steer you in to something else. Too bad, the Fosgate is a beautiful sounding phono preamp. | |
| Help with my analog rig. Manutius....The tone arm cable (in the VPI tonearm) is nordost . I'm using Purist Venustas IC's from the tonearm to the Fosgate. However, I an using unshielded IC's (Speltz phono cable) from the phono preamble to the preamble. I have already chang... | |
| Help with my analog rig. Ciao... What do you mean "using the ground wire correctly? Are you referring to running the ground wire from the tt, to the phono preamp? If that's what you mean, then yes, that is how I ran it. | |
| Help with my analog rig. Cli09...my equipment is all single ended. I'll try your suggestions to try and find which piece/s are the problem. Additionally, thanks for your opinion about the ground zero. |
